Flying Spur Speed: The Best Sedan
The Bentley Flying Spur Speed, recognized as the Best Sedan in the Automotive category, represents the pinnacle of luxury performance sedans.

The Flying Spur Speed boasts a 0.4-second improvement in its 0 to 60 mph time, reaching a top speed of 207 mph. This performance is powered by a 626 bhp 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged W12 engine, complemented by advanced technologies such as Electronic All all-wheel steering, Torque Vectoring by Brake, and Bentley Dynamic Ride.
We are thrilled that Robb Report has recognized our iconic and powerful engine, which underscores the two fundamental pillars of our brand: the outstanding performance of the Flying Spur Speed and the exquisite craftsmanship of the Batur,” remarked Mike Rocco, CEO and President of Bentley Americas. “We eagerly anticipate further collaboration and sharing our brand’s excellence with esteemed peers and vibrant categories as we transition into the era of hybridization.
Batur by Mulliner: Best Interior

This accolade acknowledges the car’s exceptional level of customization, sustainable material options, and meticulous attention to detail.
